Snoop (Daz):
Yeah, what I'mma do right here is take my time
And dedicating this one to my niggas resting in peace
And my niggas behind the wall
See you when I get there, you know what I'm saying? (really doe)
So drip with me as I go down memory lane

Nate:
My homie told me one day he had a jack move
He said: "come on Nate Dogg, it'll be smooth"
I agreed and said "come on, let's go and jack them fools"
Next day we were draped in the county blues
I went and did a little time in the bucket see (seventeen years)
Saying to myself "I'll never fuck with that nigga again"
'fore I'm locked down I learned to be
What I am now and that's a motherfucking O.G
Original gangsta

Daz:
I grew up in the city as a child, faced the trials
Never smiled, became a gangster in the meanwhile
You'd find me swearing and lying, trying to be an O.G.,Beating the shit out of niggas forGuess and Hillfigers
The man behind the trigger, committing robberies
With the homies, no one could stop, nobody knew meGankin' niggas for show, sucker niggas better know me
Because we ain't letting the bullshit slide no more
Do you in nigga and kick in your front door
To let you know we can't take no more
Feeling revenge, killing enemies, family and friends
And let you pay the cost for my homie's life, it's lost
Toss a coin in the air, run my fingers through my hair
And ask myself: "who the fuck should I really fear?"
I ran around with the best killers
Thug criminals and drug dealers
Blasting niggas if they come near us
(???) with evil spirits, no one could help us if we could
Knock on wood for good luck
Serve every nigga in your hood with a buck, now you've been struck
Stood gangsta in a static gangsta mack
A grown child laying niggas the fuck down

Nate (Daz):
Original gangsta (original gangsta)
Coming from Long Beach (the town by the sea where niggas know me)
Coming from the East Side...
